Air is for people what water is for fish. Poor air quality impacts all areas of mental and physical illness and one third of Americans live with unhealthy levels of pollution inside their homes and offices. This is a conversation that made me reevaluate the air quality in our home - especially regarding mold! With a background in disaster restoration, Michael Feldstein shares his expertise and experience in the science of evaluating this critical and often overlooked area of vitality.  Founder and CEO of JASPR, an air science technology company, he has designed an affordable (and quiet!) air purifier that senses chemicals and mold.   You can order it at www.JASPR.co.  Be sure to use my affiliate code VITALITY to save 20% until October 10 or 10% after that date. The air quality discussion certainly debunks that old adage “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.”  In this case, what doesn’t kill us just keeps us sick. We also talked about simple strategies that you can implement today to have better air quality in you home.

Oil Pulling is an ancient mouth cleansing practice and there is no “one way” to accomplish it.  Here is my method:

• 1 teaspoon organic Coconut Oil
• 3 to 4 drops Nigella sativa (aka Black Seed Oil)
• Swish vigorously for as long as possible - ideally at least five minutes.
• For the “research” that I did on myself, I swished for about ten minutes.
• Spit it out in the trash can. 
• I did this for 30 days between testing to evaluate the effectiveness and was astounded at my results. 
• It’s so interesting to take a before and after saliva test!

Newly married, 28 years old, and diagnosed with a “uniformly fatal” form of leukemia, Glenn Sabin, did an experiment on himself when given six months to live.  That was over 30 years ago!  Although randomized, controlled clinical trials with a large N number (the number of participants) is the gold standard of evidence-based medicine, individual outcomes are all that really matter. Glenn named his fascinating and inspiring book “n of 1” because every person is unique.  His goal was to be the most inhospitable host possible for cancer.  Glenn’s story of courage, curiosity and unparalleled determination will give every listener renewed hope.

Enjoy Glenn’s website, www.glennsabin.com, for information on cancer coaching and his book, n of 1.  You can find Cancer Commons, the no-charge cancer resource that we discussed, at www.cancercommons.org.  Previous guests on Vitality Made Simple in this genre include Thomas Seyfried, PhD, author of Cancer As A Metabolic Disease (Episode 129, released November 7, 2023) and Joe Tippens, unconventional cancer treatment via fenbendazole, (Episode 92, released February 21, 2023).
